Using the arts to build resilience

Resilience is one of the greatest skills a child can develop. We offer schools a tailored, 1 hour per week program that runs during school terms. We provide arts-based and creative activities for primary and secondary students to learn how to better understand, manage and become more aware of their emotions. Through the creative arts, they learn about cooperation and how to improve their social relationships. Our program supports the many difficulties and challenges young people face, including grief and loss, family separation, trauma, family violence, and much more.
